A few guys that had heard them at CEDIA over on the other audio/video forum said they really weren't that impressed. They claimed the current Studio sounded better in the midrange & treble, while the bass was better on these, but not a huge difference. I like the stands/outriggers more, but I'd take the curved Studio cabinets over these
Makes me wonder if there will be some deep discounts on the Studio v5 line soon
